Wow, I was going through my web stats because I was bored today, and what did I find? More people trying to access something I uploaded (as far as I can tell) about this time in 2003. I posted the Playboy Photoshoot of the Brazilian Womens’ Soccer Team, and took it down about three or four months’ later, because I redesigned the site or something. I keep seeing people try to access it in my stats, so I thought I’d try and find it (which I did, in an age-old backup of my site) and upload it to see how many more people will access it in the future. The only thing I’ll change is an addition of a link back to the main page, so hopefully someone will come to my site for more than the boobies.

Mental note - when you’re supposed to start at 11pm, don’t get out of bed at 10:35 - especially when you live what is normally a twenty-five minute drive to work - it sucks. I got there with a minute to spare, and I’d showered, brushed my teeth, shifted the pimpmobile out of the way to get to the camry, picked up my lunch and gotten dressed except for my shoes (one of which I put on while on the highway, the other while sitting at the last red light before work. Go me!

Woo, I’d completely forgotten about this project they started a while back. Basically it’s just another stats tracker, but Google-Stylin’ which means they’ll actually have something pretty to show me.

I’ll see how it goes, with my zero-pageviews-a-day site 🙂

Hooray, I finally got my ADSL connected this morning, and I’m already loving it. Pity it got connected JUST before I had to leave for work, but oh well, it’s all working perfectly 🙂

Here’s a comparision of my line stats between the two filters I’ve tried…

An email I got from Westnet last night after asking what’s going on 🙁

Hi James,

The order seems to be stalled in the wholesalers system. I have

forwarded this email to our provisioning department to follow this up

for you. They will contact you as soon as they have an answer for you.

Thank you for advising us of the delay and we apologise for any

inconvenience.

Regards,

Ashley

Dear Telstra and Westnet,

Please get my ADSL working soon, I’ve been waiting since the 17th.

Thanks,

yale.

Hooray, this is officially the lowest my personal loan’s been since it started. It’s down to seven grand. Only $7000! It goes quicker as it gets lower too, since there’s less interest to pay, and more of the money that goes into the account actually pays off the principal. *dances*

Remembering the rest of my debt sucks though 🙁

So I finally had enough of a day off to work on the gemini again, and I got the intake manifold to fit. I cut off the heater-hose pipe that I don’t need any more, and this stupid little threaded nodule thingy that I also don’t need, so now it doesn’t foul on the brake lines. I also spent about an hour with a file taking small amounts off the thermostat housing so it doesn’t foul on the rocker cover anymore. End result, the intake manifold fits…

On the second day, the Yale created … ok, I’ll stop now. If you’re starting here, I suggest part one, or part two 🙂

Callala Beach, Huskinsson, Vincentia, The Jervis Bay Reserve, Green Patch - all really nice places, there’s probably a few photos, none that I’m happy enough with to put up though!

In the Jervis Bay reserve there’s a place called Murray’s Boat Ramp, with a little seabreak with places for people to fish off - the water there was absolutely beautiful and clear.
